From Parliament to Playground: MP Kate Osborne Visits West Boldon

7th May 2025Fiona Goodwin

This Friday, we had the honour of welcoming our local MP, Kate Osborne, to school. She was so impressed with everything happening here at West Boldon – from the impact of our new Breakfast Club on children and families, to the exciting news of our new nursery funding.

The highlight of the day was the grand unveiling of our Reading Bus! Kate was our star guest and even climbed aboard to sit with members of our school council, who asked her some amazing questions about her life as an MP.

Our children were an absolute credit to the school and to you, their families – we couldn’t be prouder!
